Ednam Lake
(lake)
Located in:
Sec. 23, 26 and 27, Twp. 85, Rge. 4, West of 6th Meridian
(50ø 23' 44? N & 118ø 31' 14?
W) Approximately 37 km northwest of Fairview.
This small, shallow lake is named for the nearby Ednam School District No. 4359 that
operated from 1931 to 1941. The school was located approximately 8 kilometres
SSW of the lake. The name is likely derived from the community of Ednam,
Scotland, which is located in The Scottish Borders. The immigration papers for
William Gibb, a homesteader in the region and one of the first school district trustees,
state that he was born at Gordon, Scotland, in about 1900 and his four sons were all
born at Kelso, Scotland. The communities of Kelso, Ednam and Gordon are in close
proximity to each other. Ednam, Scotland is situated on the River Eden and the name
Ednam is derived from "Eden-ham" meaning "settlement on the Eden."

Notes:
This form must be prepared using the accounting principles that you use to prepare
your financial statements in accordance with National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable
Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards.
Section 12.1 of Companion Policy 31-
103CP Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations
provides further guidance in respect of these accounting principles.
Line 5. Related-party debt - Refer to the CICA Handbook for the definition of
"related party" for publicly accountable enterprises.
Line 8. Minimum Capital - The amount on this line must be not less than (a)
$25,000 for an adviser and (b) $50,000 for a dealer. For an investment fund manager,
the amount must be not less than $100,000 unless subsection 12.1(4) applies.
Line 9. Market Risk - The amount on this line must be calculated according to the
instructions set out in
Schedule 1 to this Form.
Line 11. Guarantees - If the registered firm is guaranteeing the liability of another
party, the total amount of the guarantee must be included in the capital calculation. If
the amount of a guarantee is included in the firm's statement of financial position as a
current liability and is reflected in line 4, do not include the amount of the guarantee
on line 11.
Line 12. Unresolved differences - Any unresolved differences that could result in a
loss from either firm or client assets must be included in the capital calculation. The
examples below provide guidance as to how to calculate unresolved differences:
(
i) If there is an unresolved difference relating to client securities, the
amount to be reported on Line 12 will be equal to the fair value of the
client securities that are short, plus the applicable margin rate for those
securities.
(ii) If there is an unresolved difference relating to the registrant's
investments, the amount to be reported on Line 12 will be equal to the
fair value of the investments (securities) that are short.
(iii) If there is an unresolved difference relating to cash, the amount to be
reported on Line 12 will be equal to the amount of the shortfall in cash.
Please refer to
section 12.1 of Companion Policy 31-103CP Registration
Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations for further guidance
on how to prepare and file this form.

Notes:
This form must be prepared using the accounting principles that you use to prepare
your financial statements in accordance with National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable
Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards.
Section 12.1 of Companion Policy 31-
103CP Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations
provides further guidance in respect of these accounting principles.
Line 5. Related-party debt - Refer to the CICA Handbook for the definition of
"related party" for publicly accountable enterprises.
Line 8. Minimum Capital - The amount on this line must be not less than (a)
$25,000 for an adviser and (b) $50,000 for a dealer. For an investment fund manager,
the amount must be not less than $100,000 unless subsection 12.1(4) applies.
Line 9. Market Risk - The amount on this line must be calculated according to the
instructions set out in
Schedule 1 to this Form.
Line 11. Guarantees - If the registered firm is guaranteeing the liability of another
party, the total amount of the guarantee must be included in the capital calculation. If
the amount of a guarantee is included in the firm's statement of financial position as a
current liability and is reflected in line 4, do not include the amount of the guarantee
on line 11.
Line 12. Unresolved differences - Any unresolved differences that could result in a
loss from either firm or client assets must be included in the capital calculation. The
examples below provide guidance as to how to calculate unresolved differences:
(
i) If there is an unresolved difference relating to client securities, the
amount to be reported on Line 12 will be equal to the fair value of the
client securities that are short, plus the applicable margin rate for those
securities.
(ii) If there is an unresolved difference relating to the registrant's
investments, the amount to be reported on Line 12 will be equal to the
fair value of the investments (securities) that are short.
(iii) If there is an unresolved difference relating to cash, the amount to be
reported on Line 12 will be equal to the amount of the shortfall in cash.
Please refer to
section 12.1 of Companion Policy 31-103CP Registration
Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations for further guidance
on how to prepare and file this form.
